Packaging looks good and the product looks creamy and swatches vibrantly and has a high shine to it.

So I tried it on, but interestingly it didn’t dry to a matte finish as expected, however you can get the matte effect by blotting it out.

Also it was somewhat hard to apply as after applying 2-3 layers, I could still see my natural lip colour peeking through. There was also a somewhat burning sensation upon application. This lasted for a few minutes before gradually subsiding.

It doesn’t help that it’s not my shade of red; I think it will look better on a different skin tone.

On a positive note- it lasts long as I wore it for well over 6 hrs and was still very visible and perfect.

Unfortunately, I will not be giving this product a general recommendation, I am going to have to pass. However, considering the fact that my experience may be random and might suit most other individuals I won’t hate if you try it anyways, and do share your experience if you do.
